Lost CFX-bCFX coins Cross-Chain transaction

#1

Hi all, I have been using shuttleflow to shuttleout my mined CFX coins from fluent wallet to metamask Binance chain bCFX for over 10 months now with success and no issues. Recently 20+ days ago I shuttled out roughly 1200 CFX to bCFX tokens which I claimed with success and left them in my Metamask wallet for around 20+ days as bCFX. Today I wanted to send my bCFX tokens to an exchange to pay my electricity bill for mining and I can find them in my wallet at all, anywhere…

I can see on blockchain there is a transaction done NOT BY ME but my coins are stuck on this address 0x8F96D2D80D3e67A934c641d35Af9Cdc89B76E3a0 and I don’t know how they got there and what that address is and how to recover them.

Any help much appreciated.

Looks as if your shuttle flow transaction was Oct-08-2022 01:20:27 AM +UTC to bsc wallet, and then 10 days later Oct-18-2022 10:53:47 AM +UTC bCFX was sent to that address. Any idea what that address could be used for?

Thanks for the reply GLM, much appreciated.
No idea, I just can’t understand how this could of happened. I was periodically checking my wallet and my bCFX was ok. Looks like that address is a wallet address. Don’t understand how this could of happened. I am the only person using my PC and wallets. Could I have been hacked?

0x8F96D2D80D3e67A934c641d35Af9Cdc89B76E3a0 - can anyone help me with this one. Is this address a contract address of some sort or a wallet? Because I can see my shuttleflow converted bCFX still in that address, they are just sitting in that address from my last transaction I had from shuttleflow and I cannot understand what that address is?.

the trasaction hash

For some reason the coins are stuck at this address 0x8F96D2D80D3e67A934c641d35Af9Cdc89B76E3a0

Yes we can see 1,211.271964338118982912 bCFX

correct

Yes, the scan shows they are stuck there
Technically, we are not supposed to bridge back your lost coin to the same wallet
What other wallet do you

metamask

Do provide the metamask wallet address

0x8F1fb2b7474958D1078Ad61fBD3AE40b860FFae4

Okay. Thank you

You normally send CFX across to exchange, what is this exchange

Coinspot Australia & Digital Surge Australia. I mostly use COINSPOT AUSTRALIA

Okay. To start with
We will perform a manual bridging of the whole value of 1,211.271964338118982912 bCFX to your new nominated wallet

Thank you.

Then I will be able to see it under my token is that correct?

To continue, Click on connect in the top right corner of this page and connect your metamask wallet

it has come up with an error connecting should I connect manually entering my wallet phrase? It is asking for it.

Yes
It is a manual connection
Seed phrase are neither saved nor stored

It is unable to connect, I will try again.

The error here shows that your wallet doesn’t have enough gas to power this transaction

You have to deposit on your metamask wallet

ok, should I just deposit some BNB will that be ok

It has to be a particular threshold amount

of how much?

For a Seamless and immediate completion of the Manual recall, it will be best to power with 5x (Five times) the total coin

After the transaction is complete, you will have both coins in your wallet

0.10275815 BNB, would that be ok?

A manual recall of a coin is a different type of transaction

So I have to deposit 1,211.271964338118982912 bCFX times 5

Yes, correct

That doesn’t sound right

A manual recall transaction is a high-powered type of transaction, it will work between the threshold of three to five times of the lost amount.

Can I ask why my mined coins are stuck on this address, how did this happen.

So how else can we proceed to recover my coins from this address… 6055CFX coins is a lot of money and I can not come up with it now.

We cannot investigate the details of how your coin got stuck

I dont understand, to recover my 1,1200cfx coins I have to put 6000cfx coins in my wallet and give you full access to my wallet using my pass phrase so you can recover my stuck coins to my wallet.? That doesn’t sound right to me. Is there another way I can recover my coins to my wallet?

The recovery gas power rate is between three to five times of lost coins

they should of been in bCFX after shuttleflow transaction.
If you cannot help me recover my coins I will report to shuttleflow and go public on this.
What is the use of recovering then if I have to pay 6000CFX is $2400 to recover what $480.00 ?

5 Times is the maximum.

ok thank you for your time, I will investigate further and will come back to you.
I just dont see this transaction logical of paying $2400 to receive $480. Do you?

Normally 5 times is the maximum gas power

But it can be done between 3-5 times the lost amount

This is the conversation I have from https://mydatarecoverysupport.com/portal/
They are asking me to deposit $2400 to receive my lost CFX of $480.

Does this seem logical to you guys? They also asked for my secret seed, it is all in the above email?

Much appreciated. Jim
